Very few games have seen the amount of hype that Cyberpunk 2077 saw throughout its 8-year development cycle. Indeed, the wait to get our hands on the title and explore Night City for ourselves has been a long and often times unbearable one, but at last, it’s finally here. However, in a somewhat surprising turn of events, the reception to it hasn’t been all that great.
Yes, Cyberpunk 2077‘s launch has been a bit of a disaster. Not only have critics called out developer CD Projekt Red for transphobia due to their handling of trans representation, but the gameplay and technical aspects are also causing complaints, with users noting a myriad of bugs that range from strange and glitchy animations and clipping issues to broken quest chains, button inputs that don’t work and, of course, complete crashes. And that’s without even mentioning the poor performance and rough visuals on consoles.
Given CD Projekt Red’s superb track record, it’s certainly unexpected to see what’s happening now, and as more and more people take to the internet to vent their frustration, #Cyberbug2077 has begun trending on Twitter, with the below tweets offering up just a sample of what folks are saying:

These pop in's of lights and whole objects drives me nuts. The Game can be so good, IF it works. but this shit throws everything out of the window. And let's not talk about the bugs. Not a single mission without minor or major bugs. #Cyberpunk2077 #Cyberbug2077 pic.twitter.com/3ui6nY1d5o

Cyberpunk 2077's main story is the so stale and poorly written, the dialogue is so so so so so draining and i feel like im locked into cinematics or conversations for 90% of the missions. #Cyberbug2077

Played hundreds of PC games and I can safely say Cyberpunk is the first to randomly tie up/down mouse movement to my volume controls #Cyberbug2077 pic.twitter.com/UkBiBQ6w9Z

@CyberpunkGame how the hell did overlapping dialogue (phonecalls being answered during dialogue sections and both sets of audio playing) make it though testing?? #Cyberbug2077

Of course, there are a lot more reactions where those came from and it seems that many people simply won’t accept how buggy and glitchy the game is right now. Which is fair enough, especially for a AAA title from a prestigious developer that launched with an incredible amount of hype surrounding it.
But tell us, how has your experience with Cyberpunk 2077 been so far? Have you been able to overlook all this, or are you hoping to get a refund for your purchase like others have already done? Let us know down below.
